use them as ornaments; but tho collector

ance. A collector never reads; like the miser,
he boards his precious ware just to look at
them. OF tho many bibliomaniac freaks
known to the tribe, there are five well pa

teur first feels the book fever he haunts the
old book stands and buys anything that is

that have fallowed on his dusty shelves,
which will afterward be cast away when
moro experience has been gained. He is fresh
and pliable, and the longer his purse the
better patron is he Of the book stand.
Next there is the American bibliomaniac;
then the Napoleonic; then the Elzevirian;
the extended book collector; the tall and un-
cut copy man, and the wids margin man.
They all flourish in st. Louis. There used to
be a physician hero who collected black letter
books, but he died and no one ever took his
place. His choicest black letters were bought
and sent to other cities by blnck letter col
lectors A few of his most common ex-
amples are now lying somewhere about the

some dozen, who assiduously purchase every
book relating TO the early history Of Amer
